Finding a therapist who genuinely understands modern relationship structures, neurodivergent cognitive profiles, or alternative sexualities (without requiring you to educate them) can be exhausting. You deserve a safe, sex-positive, and non-judgmental space where your full identity is respected, validated, and integrated into your clinical care.
My practice provides affirming, kink-competent, and poly-inclusive therapy for individuals, couples, thruples, and polycules throughout California. Informed by over 30 years of real-world community involvement, I bring deep subcultural literacy and lived understanding to BDSM, authority/power exchange, consensual non-monogamy (CNM/ENM), Kitchen Table Polyamory, solo polyamory, and complex metamour dynamics.
Areas of Clinical Specialization
- Kink, BDSM and Diverse Sexualities: Navigating authority/power exchange, scene processing, fetish/kink exploration, boundary negotiation, and structural relationship mapping without pathologizing your desires or lifestyle.
- Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM): Tailored guidance for opening up, managing jealousy, drafting nesting agreements, establishing clear boundaries, and strengthening communication across multi-partner dynamics.
- Couples, Thruples and Relational Intimacy: Utilizing Gottman-informed relationship frameworks and sex-positive therapy to resolve desire discrepancies, rebuild intimacy after trust ruptures, and foster long-term emotional connection.
- Neurodiversity and Mixed-Neurotype Relationships: Specialized support for adults with ADHD and mixed-neurotype couples. Incorporating executive functioning tools, body-doubling strategies, and communication bridges tailored to how your brain works.
- Mindfulness and Existential Growth: Grounded in somatic grounding, present-moment awareness, and existential principles to reduce anxiety, process life transitions, and cultivate purpose.
Therapeutic Approach
I combine empathetic, person-centered therapy with action-oriented tools. Drawing from a background in martial arts and archery, I help clients build stillness, focus, and emotional resilience amid life’s chaos. We focus on where you are in the present; helping you move past shame or paralysis toward authentic connection and agency.
